Okay, nais ko lang iparating sa inyo kung anu ang buhay ng taong nasa ibang bansa bilang isang turista. Alam ko madaming kwento tungkol nito, pero ito ang aking kwento.

Pumunta ako sa UK bilang isang turista (tourist visa good for six months). Sabi ko isang buwan lang ako dito, isang buwan lang yong leave ko sa work. Pero for some reason, its been two months and nandito pa ako. Nagresign na ako sa work ko sa pinas, yong savings ko naubos na din, sa gala at saka padala sa pinas, kahit wala na ko work nagpadala pa din ako gamit ang savings ko. Ngaun kunti na lg savings ko. Dahil sa turista lg ako bawal akong mag work, so in short isa akong palamunin dito ng fiancee ko, as in PALAMUNIN, walang pera, nasa bahay lang, walang ibang ginagawa.

Kaya po, sa mga taong nag-iisip na porke nasa ibang bansa ka, mayaman ka na, marami ka nang pera. Wala po akong pera, hindi po namumulot ng pera ang fiancee ko para ipamigay sa inyo.

Sa mga nanghihingi ng pamasko, pasensya na po. Opo Christmas ngayon, araw ng bigayan pero iba po ung sa case ko, gustohin ko mang magbigay sa inyo pero sa ngayon pasensya na po. Mas pipiliin ko po'ng bigyan yong pamilya ko kesa sa inyo. Hindi naman kayo nanghihingi sakin dati ng pamasko nang nasa pinas pa ako, ngayon lang talaga, kasi nasa UK ako? Pasensya na po talaga, wala po akong maibigay, sana po hindi masama loob nyo po sakin.

Sana po intindihin nyo na hindi lahat ng nasa abroad madaming pera.

Ngayon ko lang naranasan mag pasko na wala sa pinas, lungkot at saya yong nararamdaman ko. Lungkot dahil malayo ako sa pamilya ko, ang saya-saya nila, ang daming tao, may reunion, nagkita-kita ang mga mag pinsan, relatives, kantahan dito, sayawan doon at syempre napaka bonggang kainan, pero masaya ako para sa kanila :) Saya dahil masaya ako para sa kanila, masaya na akong makita silang masaya at, masaya ako dahil kasama ko ang aking mahal, kahit dalawa lang kaming nag cecelebrate, at for sure sa New Year ganun pa din, dalawa lang kmi. Kasi isang abroad din ung Fiancee ko dito, nasa ibang bansa pamilya nya.

Yon lang po.

A Day Tour in London

It's always been a dream of mine to see London personally, the BIG BEN, LONDON EYE, TOWER BRIDGE, and many more, so basically being there such a really big time dream come true! I am very blessed, and thankful to our God, thank you Lord! Thank you also to my loves!

We came from Bicester, and we took train from Bicester Village to Marylebone Station, it was more than an hour ride, my first train in UK too. It was awesome seems like you were in an airplane, comfy seats :D

We got the BIG BUS HOP-ON HOP-OFF thing, just basically we are going to Hop On and Hop off to the place we wanted to be. From Marylebone Station we just went to the nearest Bus Stop of the Bus Tour and verified our tickets and before we know it we are already in the open top of the second floor of the BIG BUS.

Our plan was to just do sightseeing first, we are not going to hop off till all the destinations done, but sad to say that time was traffic and the bus is so slow and we dont have enough time, I enjoy doing the sightseeing even though its freezing cold for me, my hands get numb but i dont care i want to take photos hihihi. Everything was so beautiful for me, the streets, the buildings etc. OMG I am definitely a big fan of LONDON or may i say the whole UK haha.

When we passed the BIG BEN, my jaw dropped and i had hard time fixing it lol hahaha, mygad it was so beautiful, I cant help it but to hop off in the bus, my loves agreed to hop off because it was traffic. My heart was so happy to see big ben for real!

Our next stop was the London Eye. Since it was pass 12 noon when we get there, we choose to had lunch first before going to the London Eye, there is this Famous Fish and Chips just beside the Eye. The food was expensive and the taste just so-so. After lunch we went there, but the line was too long and maybe it will take an hour to get a ride, so :( :( we go back to the other side and took the City Cruise to the Tower of London where the Tower Bridge located, but first here is the London Eye.

The City Cruises was included in the the BIG BUS ticket. It was fun having cruise in London in Thames River, (please correct me if I am wrong) where you can see side by side views hehe. Next stop was The London Tower and the Tower Bridge. Its great to know and to see the history from the past. We purchase entrance ticket and went inside the tower. It was great, we went to the Crown Jewels, white tower, blood tower, etc. After the The Tower tour we went fast to The Tower Bridge. Its 4pm but it seems like 6pm in the Philippines, its getting dark. Another entrance to the Tower Bridge as we went up to the glass floor. Ahhm its just so-so also but at least we try. Since we paid for it then we were allowed to see engine room.. wow the machines they used are so huge, the one they used when there is a big ship coming they open the bridge. Well my phone died, so no more photos there huhuhu..
Below are the photos of the The London Tower, The Tower Bridge, City Cruises, and the views while cruising!

Some photos of The London Tower Bridge is not mine, its from his previous trip, where the bridge isnt close yet. :) :) :)

Street Photos:

We are still planning in going back to London, there are a lot of things and places to see that we dont see during our visit. I cant wait to go back hopefully early next year :) :) :)

Big Ben, London

Its all about Big Ben :)

I swear its so beautiful, A very touristy place. We were there during weekend and a lot of people around, you cant really take a very good photos. The street was really packed with people and cars and buses hahaha but still i enjoy it. This is only once in a lifetime, so make the most of it. I took a thousand photos for a day in London. I cant just get enough of London. Its so beautiful. A destination that everybody is dreaming of. This is a big time dream come true to me.

A lot of places to go in London, but for me this is (Big Ben) a must. Ohhh really a must.

I am out of word.. K bye hahahahaha BTW as usual im using only my phone so the quality is not good but i swear to you London is good, is great, is beautiful.

I know there are places in London isnt good or in the whole UK, but I am only seeing the good places, i mean the good side, the touristy place and I love it!!
